Clovers in Nevada Records
Nevada Censuses
The earliest non Indian settlements in Nevada were about 1849 when a groupo of Mormons settled in Genoa, Nevada. Most of Nevada was part of the Utah Territory until 1861 when it became the Nevada Territory and in 1864 it became the 36th State of the Union. Inhabitants of this area were enumerated with Utah i 1860. The first Nevada census was in 1870 and there was a state census in 1872. However, I have found no Clovers in these early censuses.
1880 Washoe County, NV ED 52 page 294 line 30: D. B. Clover 60 widowed farmer VA VA VA. Boarder. The first letter of his last name has been overwritten. He is indexed as a Clover, but he could very likely be a Glover.
1900 Elko County, NV Clover Valley ED 6 page line 35: Alex Clove born 1878 age 32 [sic] NV CA CA farm labor married 1 year; Topsey wife born 1871 age 29 married 1 year 1/1 child NV NV NV; Grover son 1890 NV NV NV; Jimmie son 1892 NV NV NV; Grannie mother widow born 1815 CA CA CA. This census taker omitted the month of birth. The name is clearly Clove. However, the same names appear in 1910 as Clover I am including it.
